AFPC to notify Airmen affected by VA data theft via e-mail

  • Published
In an additional effort to help Airmen substantiate their status, the Air Force Personnel Center will e-mail active duty, Guard and Reserve Airmen potentially affected by the Veterans Administration data theft.

The center will notify individuals based on the information provided by the VA. This is in addition to the AFPC Web site, which gives active duty, Guard and Reserve Airmen the opportunity to check their status themselves. All others potentially affected, including Air Force retirees, should contact the VA.

The Air Force is using all available means to ensure Airmen are aware of this issue. These measures are in addition to the VA's efforts to ensure those potentially affected are aware of the theft. 

For the latest information on this issue and for information on how to protect against identity theft, visit First Gov, the U.S. Government's official Web portal, or contact the VA call center at 1-800-333-4636.
